New Delhi: In order to spread awareness against Naxalism, police on Sunday launched a comic strip under the title of ‘Gadchiroli Files’, that reflects the ground realities of the affected area in a district in east Maharashtra, an officer said.
Gadchiroli superintendent of police (SP), Ankit Goyal, said that the comic strip is based mainly on the theme of harassment of people by the Maoists and how they try to stall development in the area.
